Encounters with Aliens on this Day

June 11

1881 - At sea at 4:00 a.m. between Melbourne and Sydney,
Australia, the two sons of the Prince of Wales, one of them the future
king of England, were cruising aboard "La Bacchante" when a flying object
resembling a fully lighted ship was seen, "a phantom vessel all aglow."

Fort, p. 637).

1954, While flying from Charleston, West Virginia to Atlanta on
this morning, British astronomer H. Percy Wilkins observed two brilliant,
oval shaped objects above the clouds 2 miles away. "Sharp edged," bright
gold in color, they "looked exactly like polished metal plates reflecting
the sunlight," he wrote. They moved in slow motion northwards as the
clouds drifted south. He also noticed a third UFO, this one gray in color.

1956, Nueces River, Texas - Dan Martin claimed he was
taken aboard a large landed UFO, where he spent seven hours being lectured
by the master of the ship. He wrote a book about his experience, entitled
7 Hours Aboard a Space Ship. (Source: Hollywood
Citizen-News, July 20, 1956).

1961 - Jose Darnaude, age 28, of Villanueva del Rio y Minas,
Spain felt a strange prickling sensation all over his body but
especially on his head when he next saw a spinning luminous object
approach rapidly from the northeast. The disc-shaped UFO dropped down at a
90-degree angle, and stopped to hover at 20-30 meters altitude, 250 meters
away. It changed color from white to orange to red to purple to white
again. Over a dozen other people witnessed it for several minutes before
it rose vertically at great speed and flew towards the southwest. Horses
in the area went crazy with fear, sheep broke loose, and dogs cowered in
silence. Mr. Darnaude has degrees in law, economics, and business
management, and at the time was the manager of his family's agricultural
and cattle breeding business, on whose estate the incident occurred.

1966 - A man in Westport, Massachusetts who was going
fishing early in the morning (3:45 a.m.) saw an object dive toward his car
and hover at treetop level. He stopped his car and observed it for two
minutes. It was shaped like two plates glued together, and had a smaller
oval dome on top. It took a 45-degree inclination, rose, made a
right-angle turn, and changed color from white to yellow to blue to green
as it accelerated. (Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of
Landings, pg. 331).

Westport, Massachusetts - 1966

1967, Da Nang, Vietnam - In the early evening two silver
cylindrical UFOs were seen by several U.S. military personnel on the
ground near the military base for several minutes. The UFOs were chased
off by two F-102 U.S. Air Force interceptors. (Sources: NICAP UFO

1967 - In the middle of the afternoon Carroll Watts
saw a large cigar-shaped object land on a farm near Loco,
Texas. A short being exited the craft and began walking
around it. The being was wearing a white, tight-fitting uniform, had a
baldhead, slit-like ears and somewhat larger eyes than humans. Watts
attempted to take a picture of the being, who quickly ran back into the
object which took off and flew to the north out of sight. (Source: Albert
S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, case # 3348, citing Timothy
Good, Alien Base).

1967 - At 8:00 p.m. two children in Price Hill, Ohio saw
a disc-shaped object one meter in diameter and 25 cm thick, making a
metallic noise as it hovered 10 meters above them. They took a series of
photos but they showed only a blurry light. (Source: Jacques Vallee,
Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, pg. 346 (case 849),
citing the Cincinnati Enquirer, June 12, 1967).

1968 - On this evening in Lavras de Mangabeira, Brazil a
UFO shaped like a flattened oval was seen in a field by a witness. Next to
the object stood a short, baldheaded humanoid who sported a black beard
and had dark round eyes. He wore a red, tight-fitting coverall and green
boots. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, citing
GEPUC Brazil & Antonio Faleiro).

1969 - A doctor X was returning home from a funeral late this
night near Segovia, Spain when he found his vehicle suddenly
blocked by a dense curtain formed by hundreds of small luminous white
cylinders hovering in a vertical position in front of his vehicle. Next
Dr. X suddenly heard a voice in his head that told him to relax that
everything would be alright. At the same time he noticed on the front
passenger seat an opaque cube-shaped form that appeared out of nowhere.
His next recollection was of again driving his vehicle around a curve and
then arriving home, feeling very tired and haggard having no recollection
of what occurred during approximately one-hour period of missing time.

Zerpa, Los Hombres de Negro Y los OVNIS).

1970, Atlantic Ocean -- Thor Heyerdahl and navigator
Norman Baker, aboard their boat the Ra II, radioed in that they had
watched a UFO move across the horizon for several minutes during the early
morning hours. It disappeared in a "bright orange flash." The sighting was
not connected with any space launches, but may have been related to a U.S.
Navy Polaris missile launch. Heyerdahl and his crew were attempting to
prove that ancient Egyptians could have crossed the Atlantic in papyrus
boats centuries before Columbus. (Source: APRO Bulletin,
July-August 1970, pg. 9).

1971 - At 10 a.m. a five-meter in diameter, silver lenticular
disc-shaped object landed beside the highway in Cuesta de las Vacas, San
Juan, Argentina. It was seen on the ground by a policeman and two
others for about a minute. (Source: Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case
Histories, February 1973, p. 15).

1976, Pizancon, France - Driving home at 1 a.m., Helene
Giuliana, age 20, found that the engine of her car had stopped and the
headlights went out. Then she noticed above the Martinet bridge, 75 feet
ahead of her, a bright reddish-orange dome-shaped light. She put her hands
over her eyes and when she looked again it had disappeared. She was able
to restart her car and drove home. When she arrived home at 4 a.m. she
realized it had taken her two hours longer than it should have. Under
hypnosis she recalled being taken aboard the UFO by two short beings with
large eyes, wearing black coveralls. She was fastened onto an operating
table, where they ran "a kind of box" over her. (Source: Jean Bastide,
MUFON UFO Journal, July 1976, pg. 6.)

1985, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China -- A Chinese Civil
Aviation Administration Boeing 747 encountered a UFO on the Peking to
Paris flight that almost forced the captain to make an emergency landing.
Flight CA 933 was over Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, at 2240
hours when Captain Wang Shuting and his crew first observed the object..
The UFO flew across the path of the airliner at its altitude of 33,000
feet at a very high speed. The object illuminated an area of twenty-five
to thirty square miles and was huge, with an apparent diameter of six
miles. It was elliptical in shape and had an extremely bright spot in the
center, with three horizontal rows of bluish-white lights on the
perimeter. The sighting lasted for two minutes. (Source: Timothy Good,
Above Top Secret, pg. 212).

1989 - At seven o'clock in the morning a Canadian Airlines
International crew watched a dark grey or black ovoid object, estimated to
be about 2 meters in length, make complex maneuvers in the sky not far
from St. John's, Newfoundland for three minutes. (Source: Chris
Rutkowski, International UFO Reporter, July 1990, p. 10).

1995 - On this night several golfers in Cleburne, Texas
watched a metallic cigar-shaped object hover over the golf course for
several minutes. A five-minute long videotape was made of the UFO by a
professional photographer. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO
Reporting Center, Seattle).
